(Adnkronos) – Europe must “be a driver of competitiveness and growth” requiring “a strong industrial policy”, a capital markets union, more research and development investment, and cheaper and more diverse energy supplies, Italy said on Wednesday.
“Europe needs to be a driver of competitiveness and growth, so we must have a strong industrial policy, a unified capital market, and greater investment in research and innovation,” Tajani told the Confimi Industria assembly via video link.
“We want to remove the barriers that are still holding back the internal market,” Tajani said.
Europe “needs a real simplification shock and energy costs must be lowered,” Tajani continued.
“This is a strategic priority for the government, because energy is a key driver of growth,” he said.
Energy prices are currently to high and are linked to gas prices, Tajani stated.
“We are working to diversify our sources of supply, focusing on all available resources and technologies, including nuclear, green hydrogen and biofuel,” said Tajani.
